Defending flanks
Interesting to see the responses of CIA's tech-tyrant branches to the latest unsurprising non-news from Wikileaks.
CIAWired: Russian hacking deniers love the Wikileaks CIA dump.
CIAArsTechnica: After NSA hacking exposé, CIA staffers asked where Equation Group went wrong
CIATechCrunch: No, you shouldn’t delete Signal or other encrypted apps
Each was assigned to work on a different flank. Wired spews boilerplate Deepstate verbiage. Ars assumes CIA is the side that needs defending. Crunch tells tech-tyrants to go on serving Deepstate. Everything is OK.
One NONstandard response from Deutsche Welle, normally the deepest of Deepstate....
Frankfurt used as remote hacking base for the CIA: WikiLeaks
For the first time DW assumes Wikileaks is the true side. No 'claimed' or 'alleged', just treating the revelation as a fact that needs attention.
